Don't forget that the 6200 series will display nothing if a dead PRAM battery is installed, test it with a multimeter to make sure it is near 3.6 volts.

Not true. My 6200 has had a dead PRAM battery since I got it, and it works perfectly fine.

I hear that myth a lot, especially in relation to the 4400. LEM says a 4400 can't boot with a dead PRAM - mine booted fine with the PRAM disconnected.
